Lots of snow in Holland. The birds' chalet in our garden is visited very often!

Hi Gayle, thanks! Nice to hear that you enjoy looking at the picture. We will feed the birds, they are waiting in the tree behind the birds hut. The robin living in our garden has no fear at all for us.

There is more snow to come, help!!! Nonetheless I love this time of the year.....

I tried to send you a message several times, but without succes. So next try: I had to laugh out loud too about Pam's coffee "rituals". From your comments I understand that you love to live in the coutry surrounded by nature and feathered friends. a pity that you have to miss them. there are 7 to 9 kinds of birds here in the garden. the robin has no fear at all and is always looking forward (with all other birds) to new seeds......

Hi Pauline, Thanks! the "chalet" looks much bigger because of the snow on the roof! In the tree behind it we also have food for the birds, cats will not be able to catch the birds there too. Your birdsfeeders are a very good idea, the seeds stay dry and that is what birds like. I can imagine the behaviour of your cat because of the feeder onto the window ;-))))

Hi Jana. Thanks! It's not a picture that should be a winning one in a contest, but just to show how beautiful gardenlife of birds in winter can be ;-)

LOL to Pam about the coffee. I feel similarly about my usually cold meals. Ugh!  I am often interrupted by pets, birds or kids. (Thank goodness for microwaves!)  I remember Evening and Pine Grosbeaks, Hairy and Downy woodpeckers, chickadees, Pine Siskins, Nuthatches, Blue Jays, Whiskey Jacks, Cedar Waxwings, various sparrows, basically all the birds too nuts to migrate, turning up. ;) The ravens would land if they could get a feather in edgewise.  We used to buy sunflower seeds and bags of wild bird seed in the 50 and 75 pound sack sizes.  Living in town now, I miss all that work and all my feathered friends. :)

That's a great bird chalet!! The birds in my garden are having to make do with bird feeders hanging from the trees, but judging by the number that visit each day they are popular. I found a feeder that fits onto a window--much to the amusement of Freddie the cat!
